And how did you know that Santa Claus exists?

It is very important for me that children believe in the magic fairy tale about Santa and be convinced that he exists! At the same time, however, it came to my mind to create this text, which, written in the normal way, and fallen before the wrong eyes, would doubt the little ones. And I can't allow it! So as you read, imagine that both the title and the content from here are in huge Christmas quotes.

All children sooner or later realize that there is a Santa. Usually these moments remain sealed in the minds of the little ones and change their lives. Judging from my experience, I would even say that this is one of the first stages of growing up. I am sure that there is no one who does not remember the dramatic turn of life when his entire childhood, based and motivated by the fact that there is no Santa Claus, goes round, realizing that the Good Old Man is a completely real person.

When it occurred to me to write something on the subject, it was shortly before the holidays, I was at work and decided to use my colleagues, bringing them back to that memorable moment. I boldly asked the completely logical question that should have gotten into one of the most shocking childhood memories of all in the editorial: "How did you know that Santa Claus exists?"

And here's how my neglect flew into the air and landed in the ears of the four young children in the room, who for some reason had come with their parents to work.

I will not forget the shock and disappointment in their eyes and the guilt that I experienced that it is exactly what I am destroying. Everyone in the room began to sympathize with the little ones, because we knew very well what they were lying about, that there was no Santa Claus, and at some point, because of someone's ridiculous offspring, you realized that the opposite was true! We'll see if I still have a job after the holidays, because some of the kids were blood relatives (not to say daughters) of my bosses. Nevertheless, most of my colleagues in attendance decided to answer the question I posed. Here's what they told me:

I was 8. Not anyone else, but my own grandmother looked me super cool in the eye and asked me with a stern expression, "You know there is a Santa Claus?" it was, of course, I know! "

I remember him and I'm still angry! Every year at 1-2 o'clock at night my sister, who is four years older than me, would go to me to open the presents. And in the year in question, she also tried to wake me up, but I told her that Daddy had said we should give him more time to leave the presents under the tree, otherwise he would be gone. Then my sister said to me "Oh, you're so dumb, don't you think ours is buying them ?!" Santa leaves them! I was only 4! Now I'm waiting for my sister to have children to bring her back!

I found the cash receipt from my gift in Santa's sack instead of in my mother's bag!

Colleague 4

I saw Santa put the gifts buried under our tree. I asked him "What are you doing ?! Don't our parents bring us gifts ?! ", and he said to me," I'm sorry ... it's not them, I wear them! "

Colleague 5

I remember it like it was yesterday! I was in 3rd grade when the math teacher came in and something was out of the bag. We all stood up for the traditional barracks salute after the command "Class, get up, class, be quiet!" Then the quack asked us, "How many of you still believe there is no Santa Claus?" Half of the children raised their hands. Master said, "Well, it's time for you all to grow up. Santa exists! "

It was the second day of Christmas. Ours again sent me to the next room, ostensibly to put the presents under the tree. This time, however, I decided to sneak in and peek through the door lock to find out the cause of this mystery. Then I saw that it was not my parents but Santa himself who bent under the tree and arranged the presents!
